Gas burners

The burners differ in size and power. Choose the most

appropriate one for the diameter of the cookware being used.

The burner can be regulated with the corresponding control

knob "M" by using one of the following settings:

Off

High flame

Low flame

The symbols ( ) near the knobs show the position of

the relative burner on the hob.

The symbols near the knobs show the position of the relative

burner on the hob. The burners are fitted with automatic

ignition and thermocouple safety device, which automatically

cuts off the gas from the burner in a few seconds if the flame

accidentally goes out during operation.

To ignite a burner proceed as follows:

• turn the relative knob counter-clockwise until the pointer is

on the high-flame symbol;

• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas

ignition;

• keep the knob pressed down for about 10 seconds with

the flame lit to allow the safety thermocouple to be heated;

• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is

not, repeat the operation.

For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame

symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by putting the

knob anywhere between the high and the low flame symbol.

To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise to the off

position " " .

Important:

• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more than

15 consecutive seconds.

• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the gas

duct.

• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues

to exit for a few moments before the safety device activates.

Turn the control knob to the off position and do not attempt

ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby letting the gas

disperse, which could otherwise be a danger.

• When the equipment is not in operation, check that the

knobs are in the off position " ". The main gas supply cut-

off cock should also be closed.

Using the burners

To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, it is advisable

to use only pans with a diameter that is suitable for the burner

being used, so that the flame does not extend beyond the

pan base (see following table).

When a liquid starts boiling, it is advisable to turn the flame

down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To ensure long life of the appliance, it is essential to carry

out a thorough general clean frequently, taking into account

that:

• The appliance should be disconnected from the mains

supply before starting cleaning operations.

• Avoid cleaning appliance parts when they are still warm.

• The steel parts, especially in areas with the screen-printed

symbols, should not be cleaned with diluents or abrasive

detergents; preferably use just a soft cloth moistened with

warm water and liquid detergent for washing dishes (

wipe

the cloth over the steel in the same direction as the satin-

finish

).

Denatured alcohol may be used to remove stubborn dirt.

Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact with

agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or water with

a high lime content. After washing the stainless steel parts

they should be rinsed and dried with a soft cloth

(washleather).

• After cleaning, some special treatments are available to

bring back the shine to steel and to prevent it from

yellowing; for this purpose, we recommend you use the

specific “

special cream detergent for steel care

” provided

and available from our Assistance Centres.

• Avoid leaving acid liquids (vinegar, lemon juice, aggressive

detergents, etc.) on enamelled or painted parts.

• The removable parts of the burners should be washed

frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to

remove caked-on substance. Check that the gas outlet

slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using

them again.

• Frequently clean the end part of the automatic glow plugs

of the hob.

To obtain the best results with the cooktop, several

fundamental rules should be followed while cooking or

preparing food.

• Use cookware with a flat bottom to make certain that the

pot sets properly on the cooking area.

characteristics (fig.2A):

· total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for

every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with

a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated

on the rating plate);

· it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on

the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;

· it must be protected, e.g. with grills, wire mesh, etc. in

such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not

reduced;

· it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

Fig. 2A Fig. 2B

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room,

provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there

is a risk of fire, such as garages, mews, fuel stores, etc. and

is ventilated in compliance with the standards in force.

Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may

be made to freely pass through permanent apertures with a

cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These

apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap

between the door and the floor (fig.2B).

If an electric fan is used for extracting the combustion

products, the ventilation aperture must be increased in

relation to its maximum performance. The electric fan should

have a sufficient capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange

of air equal to 3-5 times the volume of the kitchen.

Prolonged, intensive use of the appliance may require extra

ventilation, e.g. an open window or a more efficient ventilation

system by increasing the extraction power of the electric fan

if installed.

Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is

heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms

containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level,

in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not

store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements/rooms

below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the cylinder

in use in the room at any one time and connected far from

heat sources which could raise its temperature to above 50

°C.

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers

so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and

technical maintenance operations correctly and in

compliance with current regulations and standards.

Important: the hob should be disconnected from the

mains electricity supply before any adjustment,

maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should

be used whenever it is necessary to keep the appliance

connected to the electricity supply.

The hobs have the following technical characteristics:

-Category II 2H3+ -Class 1
